Fast Foward, I'm curious as to where you got your information. As others have said, our missiles in Turkey has been common knowledge. One of our politico's *flaming* an ambassador is of little note historically.

If you would like a little known quote, my husband can quote you the CiC's command that he decripted for his ship's captain, to confront the Soviet Navy to prevent them from proceding to Cuba. Trust me, that was no hollow threat.

If you can quote Bobby Kennedy's recommendation that likely prevented both countries from mutual annihilation, we can then have an interesting discussion about what was said and, more importantly what was not said.
